TL;DR: The null findings indicate that PGLB was not superior to usual care in helping participants achieve clinically significant changes in weight, CRF, and CVD risk reduction at 12 and 18 months.

TL;DR: This study explored community members’ views on the secondary use of digitized clinical data to recruit participants for clinical studies; recruit family members of persons with an index condition for primary studies; and conduct studies of information related to stored biospecimens.

TL;DR: Elevated tHcy was significantly associated with dementia, primarily VaD, when history of stroke and other confounding factors were taken into account, and remained a significant risk factor in older (>66 years), but not in younger subjects.

TL;DR: A substantial lack of specific references and guidelines for older adults, the group most at risk for AD/dementia, is found and the management of this group must be based on either single evidence from the literature, that is limited and susceptible to subjective interpretation, and/or guidelines addressed to populations that are similar but still bear significant differences.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent findings on the association between MetS and cognition is presented. But, the results from longitudinal studies are not consistent and varied depending on age, sex, cognitive test, genetic susceptibility, and the duration of follow-up in prospective studies.
